Camp Mystic Flood

Climate Expert Slams Democrats for Trying to ‘Exploit the Tragedy’ of Camp Mystic Flooding

An analysis of global rainfall trends over the past 200 years published by The Heritage Foundation earlier this year concludes that “global rainfall trends and extremes do not align with a global systematic change that could be attributed to a single driver, such as rising carbon-dioxide emissions.”

“Rainfall doesn’t follow a regular pattern—it goes up and down in unpredictable ways and varies a lot from place to place,” Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of Heritage’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment, told The Daily Signal. “Because of this, scientists use models that deal with randomness to study it.”

“While changes in local and regional rainfall are important for managing water and preparing for floods or droughts, there’s no strong evidence yet of a global trend in rainfall or a worldwide increase in extreme events that can be clearly linked to human-caused climate change,” she added.

“For as long as people have kept records, Texas has always had periods of drought punctuated by severe rains and flash floods,” Loyola added. “It is irresponsible to use the tragedy of the Texas floods for political gain.”
